|a Researchers have identified intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as key components when investigating sports (Deci & Ryan, 2002; Vallerand & Rousseau, 2001). However, research has found conflicting evidence when examining the motivation of scholarship and non-scholarship athletes. The aim of the current study was to examine the differences in motivation (IM, EM, and amotivation) among scholarship and non-scholarship collegiate male and female track and field athletes. Participants consisted of one hundred sixty two collegiate track and field athletes from Division I track and field teams in the Colonial Athletic Association and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The participants consisted of scholarship males (n = 37), non-scholarship males (n = 41), scholarship females (n = 37), and non-scholarship females (n= 47). It was hypothesized that athletes on athletic scholarships will have lower levels of intrinsic motivation and therefore have higher levels of extrinsic motivation. The Sport Motivation Scale (SMS; Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, Tusson, Briere & Blais, 1995) was used to assess participant’s motivation. A 2x2 MANOVA was used to assess the difference between scholarship and non-scholarship athletes. The results of the present study indicated there are significant differences in motivation (intrinsic, extrinsic, and amotivation) between scholarship and non-scholarship male and female athletes. Scholarship athletes had higher levels of EM, while non-scholarship athletes had higher levels of IM. Female athletes displayed higher levels of IM, while male athletes reported higher EM. The results further indicated that non-scholarship females had the highest level of IM: to accomplish and scholarship males had the highest level of amotivation. |
